• Accuracy is the ability of system to tell the truth.
– Accuracy is a measure of how well a system can
achieve or measure a state that is traceable to a
national or international standard.
– If one were to use a device to make multiple
measurements of a known standard, the difference
between the known measurement and the average of
all measurements taken is the accuracy of the
measurement.
– Accuracy is the maximum translational or rotational
error between any two points in the machine’s work
volume.
– Accuracy can be represented as the difference
between the root mean square radius of all the bullet
holes in a target and the radius of the bull’s eye.

– Linear, planar, and volumetric accuracy can all be
similarly defined for a machine.
– Accuracy is affected by the shape and size of
components, as well as thermal growth, backlash,
wear, friction, deformations, and sensor and control
system accuracy.

• Select Rotary Motion over Linear Motion
– The journal bearing is why rotary motion is so much
better than linear motion.

While φ is governed
by the coefficient of
